Informal History is a zine and podcast promoting the study of history through collective discovery and individual creative expression. We're historians, either because it's our job or our hobby. We might occupy different roles, but the thing that brings us together is our mutual interest in the preservation of historical resources and the promotion of historical research and education. We aim to capture the diversity of the St. Louis historical research scene.... everything from the archives to community storytellers. Our focus is on contemporary St. Louis history, from the fall of Pruitt Igoe to the present day.
